Jan Müller 1958

"Jan Müller" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank taken in 1958. The image depicts a man and a woman in a dimly lit room, the man with his hand raised in a gesture, the woman with her chin resting on her hand. The photograph, like many in Frank's influential photobook "The Americans" (1958), offers a candid and intimate glimpse into American life. Frank's work is known for its focus on everyday life and social commentary, often exploring themes of alienation, loneliness, and the American Dream. "The Americans" was groundbreaking for its portrayal of everyday people, capturing their emotions and struggles through the lens of photojournalism.
